Santa Monica?

IMG_2974No, Nevada City – California – what a gem of a little town.  3 Hr. drive from San Francisco. There’s nothing there and there is something there.  Will have to revisit kind of a place – as this is only a lunch stop…

Why Santa Monica ?  Because this guy who sat near us looked just like a Kundalini Yogi from LA… Lovely Cafe …oh, it’s a brewery –  lots of fresh veggies dishes. My thoughts were where did all these beautiful people come from ?  What do they do here?  Do they actually … live here? I know so little about California after all.

Thank you Niroga for sharing

this certain chant that translates to …

Lead me from Unreal to the Real

Lead me from Darkness to Light

Lead me from Death to Immortality

Peace, peace, peace, Be Unto All Beings of the Universe

Anyone can chant – sing – if we have a vocal chord. It’s lovely. I will have to share someday in class … to up the vibration in this space I hold for anyone who shows up.

She has a sweet smile … legs flops out … Doggie Shavasana …for this active little fox.

IMG_2839Just few hours ago, we were trudging along this path by the stream to the Lake so … we are rather exhausted.  Easily more than 10,000 steps we treaded.

Yoga Teacher in Tokyo

Taeko-sensei in Tokyo. She’s holding up a book entitled Foundation of Aryuveda: Practice even beginner students and easily understand and put into practice.

IMG_2177She modeled for this wonderful book in Japanese titled “Basics of Ayurveda”.  So really lovely to review again (to find out how  little I know) Ayurveda… Lovely teacher – loved her sequence based on the principles of Ahimsa.  I too hope to incorporate the wisdom of Ayurveda into my own heritage, then take it to the day to day for self-care.  Ayurveda worked well in India and as an export to Japan or anywhere else in the world, it is adapted and modified in the land of its adoption.

This weekend was all about Ayurveda with Durga Leela, an amazing down to earth teacher of Ayurveda.  She inspired me to take better care of myself so I may take better care of others with teachings infused with humor … so much laughter.  So much learning.  So glad to show up.  Durga is another great teacher.  So blessed to be in company of higher minds and spirits.

So much learned but basically, serve.  Act by serving but for self-care, distance yourself from toxins including people with toxic minds and lifestyle.
